Harry Potter

By J.K. Rowling"Eleven-year-old Harry Potter is an orphan living with his cruel aunt and uncle when he makes a discovery that will change his life forever: he is a wizard. He is whisked away to the mystical Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magical skills, from potions to spells to flying on broomsticks. But an evil power is rising, the same one that threatened to destroy the entire world when Harry was only a baby. As Harry learns the truth about his family, his childhood, and his mysterious lightning-bolt-shaped scar, he finds unforgettable friendship, a loving surrogate family, and the courage to face the darkest force ever to menace the wizarding world."Retrieved from clubs.scholastic.com

When I think about Harry Potter as a person, I can't help but notice how rotten his childhood was and despite that, he becomes a really good friend to Ron, Hermoine, and Hagrid. He obviously cares a lot about other people. Why do you think Harry is such a good friend? What made him that way?

Like me, you might have thought about how friendship is woven through all the books. As Harry gets older, his relationships change and become more complex. Let's talk about how complicated friendships can be using examples from the text.
